Md. Man Makes No Apologies For Helping People Commit Suicide

Some compare him to Jack Kevorkian, calling him the new Dr. Death.

Kelly McPherson spoke with a Baltimore man, who is giving no apologies for helping people commit suicide.

Dr. Laurence Egbert has watched and helped nearly 100 people commit suicude. He considers it an honor.
“All I’m saying is that I think people should have the right to control their lives,” he said.

Egbert is speaking for the first time since he was found innocent in a trial that caught national attention.

An Arizona woman used his organization “The Final Exit Network” to Commit Suicide. The group promises a painless death for people with debilitating diseases.

Egbert admits to approving Jana Von Voorhis as a candidate for assisted suicide.

“She died in a very dignified way,” he said.

We should be free to choose how our lives end !

Once you have watched a loved one suffer before leaving this earth---you will understand the importance of having that choice.

Sounds like he should be tried for murder. Didn't Dr Kevorkian go to jail for the same thing.
